Located within the heart of the peninsula (Rovinj), two houses embody the exclusivity of luxury accommodation: the VILLA ORATORIO boutique hotel has it all in the shape of a petite, four-level building with a total of 11 rooms. Eventually, the project could also become a 7-spacious-apartments building and even a luxury villa.
It has to be remarked that the original building counts from the 17th century which offers that extra traditional condiment. The main layout of the hotel is: On the ground floor the lobby, reception, restaurant-bar, fitness, toilets and services; first, second and third floors with rooms and at the top a belvedere. The whole building has a surface of 285 m2 connected by the staircase. Although the exteriors remain true to their 17th century design, a couple of few elements were added to give a subtle sign that something’s happening inside. The interior design on the other hand was thought to be a contrast to the exterior serenity and sober image of the stone façade.
